Individual and Community Preparedness

Individual preparedness involves personal planning and readiness, such as creating emergency kits, knowing safety procedures, and staying informed about risks. Community preparedness focuses on collective efforts, including local plans, communication systems, and resources to support residents during crises. Both are essential; individuals strengthen their resilience, while communities coordinate to manage emergencies more effectively. Together, they help ensure safety, reduce chaos, and facilitate recovery after events like natural disasters, accidents, or health crises.
